The Big Baby Shower

This weekend, Donna threw a wonderful baby shower for me (and baby of course)! We had wonderful food, games, friends and wait till you see the safari-themed cake Aunty Lyn made. Thanks so much to everyone who was able to make it (30 people!) as well as for the gifts that were sent from the people who weren't able to attend. We received adorable outfits, toys, books, a breast pump, baby thermometer, a swim diaper, blankets, among other useful or just plain cute baby items!

When Donna asked a few weeks ago what we still needed, we told her that we would really like to purchase a good jogging stroller. Many of the guests generously contributed to the stroller fund, and now we have an awesome top-of-the-line yellow BOB Ironman stroller. Matt has big plans to win a road race while pushing our kid in this stroller against other guys who are just running. We took it for a test stroll around Magic Island yesterday and we loved the way it handled. In addition, we used the money left over to purchase a new digital SLR camera to take pictures of baby. We are really excited to start practicing! Thanks so much to everyone who contributed to make the baby shower so special. We love you!Donna and Matt's mom put together a delicious menu of tasty treats.

Opening a gift from my sister Carla sent all the way from Washington DC!
